Indoor Track and Field Outlook For 2007-2008

At the opening event of the 2008 Indoor track and Field season [Yale collegiate Invitational] two Community College of Rhode Island athletes advanced to the National Championship to be held at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston Illinois on March 7th and 8th. Amanda Kelly a freshman who graduated from Cumberland High School qualified in the weight throw with a throw of 14.33m/47-00.25 feet and in the shot put with a toss of 11.73m/38-06 feet. James Sylvestre qualified with a school record run of 8:55.85 in the 3k event. Both James and Amanda are currently ranked in the top eight of the NJCAA National poll for their early season efforts. The Community College of Rhode Island Track and Field coaching staff is extremely proud of James and Amanda for their accomplishments because the NJCAA Indoor Nationals has historically been dominated by the power house scholarship Track and Field programs of the Midwest. For two athletes from a non Scholarship program to be ranked this high in the poll is something the Community College of Rhode Island Athletic Department will be talking about over the remainder of this season. Both James and Amanda have a fine chance of placing in the Top 6 at the NJCAA National Championship.
Other Notable Athletes representing The Community College of Rhode Island this 2008 Indoor Track and Field season are. Sophomore Kristin Vanhouwe from the town of North Smithfield will be running the mile, 800m and 3000m events. Kristin has hopes of breaking the school mile record. Kristin also has her sights on the school 3000m record. Kristin also would like to place in the top 3 at the Region III championship in February in one of her races. Sophomore Shondelle Perry [West Warwick Rhode Island] has her eyes on placing in the top six at the Region III Championship in the 55m hurdles, shot put and long jump. Dennis Lefluer [Freshmen Coventry Rhode Island] Stephen Campagnone [Warwick Rhode Island] and Lee DeRosa [Mansfield Massachusetts] also have the potential to place well in February at the Region III Championship. Dennis and Lee will be running the sprint events while Stephen is a middle distance runner. All three are looking to place in the top 6 at The Region III Championship to be held at Hudson Valley Community College on February 17th.
